UK, LONDON - New Year Yoga Nidra, Haripyari, Sadhaka Yoga Centre, The Stables Market, Chalk Farm Road, Camden, London, NW1 8AH, 05 Jan 2014
In this New Year gathering we will delve into the nurturing practice of Yoga Nidra, an effortless lying down meditation which takes you to a space of conscious sleep. In the practice of Yoga Nidra we allow our physical bodies to surrender in relaxation, whilst our other levels of being are thoroughly nourished: the mind chatter is calmed, the emotions are balanced, and one’s level of vitality energised.
Regularly practiced, Yoga Nidra is a space of profound union with creation, where internal difficulties and questions are resolved naturally, and spontaneous creative insights can occur. It is a joyful practice of homecoming that leaves one feeling revived, and ready to face the tasks of life with an open mind, and heart.
As an alternative to the standard New Year's resolution, which is usually a goal that has been constructed in the mind and therefore can be difficult to keep, in this group we will focus on the use of the heart-centred intention (Sankalpa) within the arch of Yoga Nidra. Sankalpa is a resolve that arises from the heart-centre ~ true inner guidance.
"I didn't trust it for a moment,
but I drank it anyway,
the wine of my own poetry.
It gave me the daring to take hold
of the darkness and tear it down
and cut it into little pieces" ~ Lalla
